The evening glow gradually dimmed, and the crowd blocking the door of Sancha River Township Government office had disbursed.
But the group standing at the government's gate, no one could manage a smile. Everyone knew that the people would return only to renew their strength, they were certain to come tomorrow. They will probably continue to make trouble until they get the result they want.
Seeing the grave look on everyone's face, a man in his thirties looked around at everyone, then glanced at his watch and shouted to the crowd, "It's almost eight o'clock, everyone hurry back and eat! Stop looking so glum, we still have to eat, remember the meeting is at half past eight and everyone knows who should come. Come back after you have eaten, don't come looking for me hungry, all I can do is start and I can't be responsible for your dinner!"
Everyone laughed a little at the joke, and each said, "Then Mayor Chen should hurry back to eat as well…"
